Can anyone tell me what to expect from a 2000 259 with a stock 454 mag will run?

Also a 1996 253 with a stock 502 mag?


Kinda looking at both of these. I know they wont be 75mph boats, but I won't be happy running 55-60 either.

259 with 454 mag will run 65 + or - 2mph
253 with 502 mag will run 67 + or - 2mph

these numbers are ideal conditions, correct prop, low fuel, 1 or 2 people on board

Is this going to be on cumberland again this year?

How fast has anyone had checkmate 235 persuader and with what horsepower?

A buddy had one with a 465hp 502 and it went upper 70's.

A good friend of my Dad's has one with a pretty stout 555 in it that runs 92

There is a guy from Ohio that has one with a twin turbo 540 I believe. He is running well over 100 with it.

They are a very fast hull that handles really well.
